The indigenous warrior responsible for the reconnaissance lay down behind the pile of rocks high on the mountain, looking towards the North Pass where the sun was a bit dazzling.
The snow-capped peaks in the distance reflected dazzling light, but the highlands in the distance were still green, and there were some shriveled berries hanging on the bushes between the mountain passes.
It takes about a few days to walk up the mountain road from the foot of Moyunling Mountain to the North Pass of Moyunling Highlands.
Looking towards the northern mountains from here, you can also see the dark green sea of trees extending to the edge of the sky.
Just looking back at the vast Moyunling Highlands, the desolation among the moss, green grass and gravel, everything seemed a little desolate.
According to Elder Ambroby, this was once the holy land of the Aigrod clan, and every Aigrod native has a deep attachment to this land.
Several indigenous warriors got together. They were worried about being discovered by the evil spirits and hid behind a pile of rubble high on the mountain road. They originally planned to explore how many evil ghost warriors were stationed here, but they didn't expect to look at the Beishankou camp in the distance.
, I saw the flags flying on the camp, which looked very much like the silk flags of the Lord Army.
The banners and flags of the evil spirits are almost all made of leather. They are usually hung on crosses and rarely flutter in the wind.
The flags of the lords' army are much more delicate, usually made of silk. Some big lords will add gold and silver threads to the silk used to make the flags, and ask magic tailors to embroider some exquisite magic patterns on them.
These magic patterns usually have the effect of improving morale and boosting spirits.
Under the dazzling sunlight, the indigenous warriors could clearly see the patterns on the flags flying at Beishan Pass.
The indigenous warrior with the best eyesight reported to the squad leader:
"Headhunter, that flag looks a bit like the flag of the Imperial Lord Army..."
As the captain of the indigenous reconnaissance team, Thackeray squinted his eyes from behind the boulder and looked towards the North Pass. The dazzling sunlight made his vision white.
He could only walk a few steps forward, hunched over, selected a four-meter-high stone monument on the pile of rocks, and climbed up along the cracked stone seam. His hands were very strong, and he jumped to the top in a few clicks.
On top of the boulder.
At this time, the flag became clearer.
Thackeray jumped deep in front of the team members and said to several members:
"I'll get closer. You guys stay here and wait for me. If I'm discovered by evil spirits later, you can decisively retreat to the shady slope of the mountain. I will find a way to lure them to the opposite side of the mountain road and then find a chance to get rid of them."
Open them, and if you can't wait for me to come back before dark, you will return to the legion and report the situation here to Chief Logan, do you understand?"
"Headhunter, I'm a fast runner. Let me do this investigation!"
A member of the team volunteered.
Thackeray glanced at him but said nothing.
He never likes team members to question his orders.
The team member retracted his head and said with a guilty conscience:
"I know, then be careful!"
Scouting on the edge of Beishan Pass Camp is very dangerous.
In particular, this valley is filled with a strong smell of blood. There are still some remains of ghost warriors on the hillside, and there are also some broken blades that have not been sorted out in time. The traces left after the battle have left the slopes on both sides of the mountain road devastated.
The unknown situation here is even more uncertain...
At this time, of course, the most experienced old hunters need to go ahead to explore. This is the long-standing practice of the Aigrod natives.
Thackeray patted each team member on the arm and said to them:
"Don't worry! We've traveled such a long way, so there's no way something could go wrong here."
After saying that, he walked out of the pile of rubble and had a panoramic view of the slope in front of him.
Thackeray looked at the battlefield ahead with some shock. He had actually seen the corpses of some evil warriors on the edge of the battlefield, but he didn't expect that it was just the tip of the iceberg.
This battlefield was much larger than he had guessed, and the corpses of the evil ghost warriors on the battlefield were too numerous to count.
Even the hillsides covered with moss and needlegrass were soaked with purple blood...
He bent down and picked up a broken blade. If there were indigenous warriors involved in this battle, this black metal broken blade would definitely not be discarded here. If the tribe comes later, this broken blade will most likely be polished.
Into a hatchet.
But now on this battlefield, such broken blades can be seen everywhere, and there are some sharp white bone spears stuck in the soil here and there.
There are still many messy footprints and broken limbs left on the battlefield. You can imagine how large-scale battles took place here.
Thackeray simply didn't know how to express his inner shock. There were many similarities between this battlefield and the place where he had fought at the foot of Moyunling Mountain.
He looked towards the North Pass again, and when he saw the flag fluttering in the wind, he felt that it should be the lord army from the Green Empire guarding there.
Now that he found that this place had been completely occupied by the lord's army, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the broken limbs and corpses all over the ground, he sighed at how many evil ghost warriors this lord's army had killed to make the battlefield such a mess.
The further Thackeray walked forward, the more traces he saw on the battlefield, and the clearer the surprised expression on his face...
He stood up straight from the hillside and waved vigorously towards his companions who were hiding behind the rocks.
The indigenous warriors of this reconnaissance team came out of the rocks one after another, and some of them were confused and joined him.
Thackeray said to his companions:
"The people guarding the mountain pass are an imperial army. They should be the imperial lords' army that Chief Logan asked us to pay more attention to."
"Let's go and have a look!"
After saying that, he took the lead and strode towards the Beishan Pass Campground...
…
On the fourth day after the reconnaissance team of the Aegrod Alliance Army left, this indigenous coalition force with nearly 200,000 soldiers finally appeared on the mountain pass of the North Pass of Moyun Ridge.
These warriors climbed onto the hill and occupied almost all the space around the mountain path.
Their appearance was like a thick blanket covering the slopes on both sides of the mountain road...
It seems that the indigenous coalition forces must have eliminated the evil ghost hunting groups at the foot of Moyunling Mountain, so they entered the mountain road at the northern foot of Moyunling Mountain on such a large scale.
Chief Logan and several other burly chiefs walked at the front of the team. They were also the chiefs of various indigenous tribes.
As for the great witches in the indigenous coalition, they rode in black-horned elk carriages and followed the team silently.
"Unexpectedly, as the great elder said, the imperial army has occupied the northern pass of Moyun Ridge. No wonder I haven't seen the evil ghosts running down from Moyun Ridge these days. It turns out that the source is blocked by the imperial lord's army.
Neck, haha." Chief Logan laughed and said.
The other clan leader standing next to him actually curled his lips and said with some disdain:
"Actually, the danger has not been completely eliminated. We should be more careful. God knows if there are a large group of evil spirits opposite this camp..."
"As long as we can hold Beishan Pass this time, the evil ghost army will no longer be able to run down the mountain unscrupulously." A clan leader said with emotion.
This mountain road doesn't seem to be very far, but if you measure it directly with your legs, the leading troops of the indigenous alliance army walked for a whole morning before finally reaching the Moyunling highland.
At this time, the Beishankou camp had been reduced to ruins after repeated battles in the past few days.
The original fish-scale structures in the camp have most likely collapsed. After several rounds of battles, they have completely turned into scorched earth. The soil is not only filled with the smell of rotten blood, but also has a faint sour smell.
The planting soil seems to contain oil and is not suitable for the growth of any plants.
Chief Logan brought a group of indigenous leaders to the front of the Beishan Pass camp, and saw that Surdak came out with a group of officers.
The armies of both sides merged together, but the camps were clearly separated. In addition to the reserved area of Beishan Pass, a large number of 200,000 indigenous warriors were stationed in the mountain road below Beishan Pass.
There is no way, there are too many indigenous alliance troops, and there is only such a big place in Beishan Pass.
In the empty field on the south side of the Beishankou camp, a large group of giant ghost-patterned soldier ants were gathering the remains of the evil ghost warriors. The evil ghost warriors were tall and it was obviously not possible to dig a hole and bury them on the battlefield.
It's too realistic, but this is Beishankou Camp, and a city wall will be built here in the future, so the corpses of these evil ghost warriors must not be left alone.
So Suldak chose the easiest way this time, which was to burn it.
The giant ghost-patterned soldier ants piled all the corpses of the evil ghost warriors together, then poured them with fire oil and set them on fire completely...
The fire can quickly convert the fat in the body of the ghost warrior into grease. In this way, the fire may not be extinguished until the corpse of the ghost warrior is completely burned.
Among the billowing smoke, there was even a pungent and spicy smell.
Chief Logan took a deep look at the giant ghost-patterned soldier ants who were doing hard work. Wearing a thick, full-coverage heavy armor, he strode to the front of Surdak, and then said kindly:
"I didn't expect Lord Surdak to actually fulfill his promise and capture this camp in advance..."
"Didn't Chief Logan come as promised?" Suldak said with a smile, and then explained: "It was just a coincidence that when the cavalry regiment just arrived here, they found that the evil ghost army in the camp had already left their nests.
, it was with this rare opportunity that I was able to take advantage and drive the evil ghost army stationed here to the hinterland of Moyunling Highlands."
"However... the ghost warriors here have a strong will to fight. Even if they are dispersed, they will quickly organize a counterattack."
"You came at the right time this time. There has just been a big battle here, and the evil ghost army has just retreated from here. Taking advantage of the current window, we can build a city wall here at Beishan Pass."
Before Chief Logan came here, he had already heard Elder Ambroby explain this matter.
This is an important link in the grand strategy jointly formulated by the natives of Aigrod and the West Road Lord Army.
Chief Logan also understood that as long as city walls were built at the north and south ends of Moyun Ridge, he could completely control the way the evil ghost army went down the mountain.
so……
Even if the next few battles don't go well, as long as you firmly control the exits at both ends, even if you adopt more cruel methods of clearing the field, you can ultimately win the war.
"What do we need to do? Our young warriors here can't wait!" Chief Logan asked Suldak.
"So... the top priority is to build a city wall..."
Surdak said loudly.
…
Even though he already knew the answer, but hearing what Suldak said, Chief Logan was still a little confused...
Where to build this city wall, how to build it, what materials to use, and how long the construction period will take. Chief Logan is not very good at this series of things.
His bronze face was filled with wrinkles.
The indigenous warriors have already begun to set up tents in the planned area.
Here, Suldak brought Chief Logan to an area where a straight white line was drawn. There were two parallel white and gray lines. The span between the two lines was almost thirty meters, extending in both directions.
The length of the side extension is unexpectedly 1,500 meters.
Suldak took Chief Logan to walk between the two white lines, and then explained: "A 30-meter-wide, 60-meter-high, and 1,500-meter-long line will be built here.
In the city wall, no buildings can be built in the area south of the city wall, and no buildings can be built within 30 meters in the north of the city wall."
After speaking, he bent down, picked up a piece of hard shale from the ground, and said to Chief Logan: "Next, you need to ask your young indigenous warriors to go outside to pick up such rocks, and transport them all to both sides of the city wall.
On the other hand, these stones are the main building materials for building the city wall."
A group of ant cavalry came towards us in the distance. These ant cavalry were driving the ghost-striped soldier ants on their crotches to clear out all the remaining soil from the planned city wall. They only dug less than one meter deep and could see the blue rock formation below.
.
Only by clearing away these abandoned remains can the first step of building the city wall be completed.
Next, Surdak will need to transport some iron cages containing rocks, and then a large amount of volcanic ash cement and other materials.
Chief Logan then asked: "Then where is our camp?"
Suldak did not talk to Chief Logan over the map, but directly led Chief Logan to the area where the scene was located, pointed to the land under his feet and said:
"Here, although most of the sunlight here will be blocked by the city wall, it is definitely suitable for building a military camp."
With that said, Suldak took out an architectural drawing. Chief Logan had heard some descriptions of this city wall before, so now that he saw the architectural drawings, he had some rough outlines of the building in his mind.
Immediately afterwards, Suldak asked Chief Logan to tell him about the construction plan of a fortress camp.
This is a bit complicated to say, and it mainly involves the different lifestyles of indigenous warriors and lord army warriors...
